wikiHow offers an amazing resource in many areas of interest and some of these could prove very useful for the homeschooling teacher. This article provides one way that might inspire your homeschooling lesson creations.

Steps

1

Find a suitable article of interest. Areas that might be useful include:

Gardening

Sewing

Woodworking

Craft

Landscaping

Cooking and baking.

2

Be sure to choose an article that has step-by-step photos with the instructions. Print out the article, using a color printer for the photos.

3

Cut out the photos and instructions for each step. Mount each photo and its related step instructions on a separate card. Be sure to put the number of each step somewhere obvious one each card.

Laminate the cards if wished. This isn't essential but will help to ensure that they last longer and can be placed near the project as it is being undertaken.

4

Find a suitable unwanted box. Stick a photo of the finished project on top of this box. Arrange the cards in order of steps and put them inside the box.

5

Present the project-in-a-box to the students. Try to match a project to the skills, interests, age, and needs of each student. Let them follow the instructions and create the item from start to finish. It's a great way for homeschooled students to learn new skills and to create something interesting and/or useful in the process!
